Don't worry we're not going to raise the fee!

As some of you might know; last week we sponsored the Hillfoot Steel Group 'Badmintonathon' (http://www.badmintonathon.com/) with free shuttles. We provided them with shuttles to achieve their 24 hour non stop badminton game to raise money (about £3000,-!!!) for two charities. This amazing achievement by them gave us the following idea:

We as a committee propose to give £0,10p (of the £4,- fee so it won't cost you anything extra) of every player each week to charity chosen by the group. By doing this we could raise £2,50-£3,50 a night x about 50 playing weeks = approx £150,- a year. It seems a really easy way to give something back to the ones who need it badly and we (as a club) can afford it. It might not seem that much but the group is growing and every bit helps right?!

We plan to hand to money to the chosen charity at the annual Christmas dinner. This gives us some time to chose one. A poll will be set up in our forum group where new ideas will be added in.

So please have a think about where you think the money would be well spend. (No not your own bank account!)

We hope you're all behind us in this idea and that we may raise a lot of money! :thumbsup:

This subject is close to my heart as my Dad has had an early form now for 12yrs roughly (he is 62) and not enough attention is payed to the problem and we cud all get some form anytime... ooh like forgetting the score half way through a game heehee

I suggest Healey city farm, as this helps children from schools, adults with learning difficulties etc.
